Surfing is the source

Surfing is more than just a sport for me—it’s a deep connection to nature, rhythm, and pure freedom. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of paddling out, reading the ocean, and catching that perfect wave, where everything else fades away, and it’s just you and the water. Having surfed across Los Angeles, Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, the Caribbean, Peru, and Ireland, I’ve learned that every wave tells a different story, shaped by the winds, tides, and energy of the earth. Whether it’s the warm tropical waters of Central America or the raw power of the Atlantic in Ireland, surfing is my escape, my meditation, and my endless pursuit of adventure.
